With 312 exhibitors from 36 countries (2015: 273 from 33 countries) and a growth rate of 14 %, Texprocess (9 to 12 May 2017) launches its biggest event ever. Held in parallel to Techtextil, Texprocess, the leading international trade fair for the processing of textile and flexible materials in Frankfurt am Main, will showcase, for the fourth time, all the stages of the value creation train in the textile industry, including design technologies, IT, the various processes and procedures for cutting, sewing, seaming, embroidering and knitting, as well as technologies for finishing, textile printing and logistics. And Texprocess will be offering additional stimulus for the sector with the first ever Digital Textile Micro Factory. "Texprocess demonstrates the unbelievable dynamism that currently exists in the textile-processing industry. Particularly in areas like cutting, as well as sewing, seaming and fastening technologies, we are seeing strong growth amongst exhibitors. At the same time, the automation of the processes involved is becoming ever more important," says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles and Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt. Elgar Straub, Managing Director of the VDMA’s Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies Division, concurs: "Personalisation of clothing, digitalisation of the value creation chain and new technologies such as digital printing and sustainable processing technologies are the major issues currently preoccupying the sector."
All the international market leaders are to be found amongst the
companies to have signed up as exhibitors at Texprocess.
Texprocess Innovation Award: focus on new technologies
Digital Textile Micro Factory: on the way to Industry 4.0
Complementary programme: emphasis on digital printing and fashion show Also part of the Texprocess Forum is a lecture series dedicated to the digital printing of textiles. The forum offers expert lectures on the current issues of major relevance to the sector on all days of the show in Hall 6.0. The programme has been devised as a result of consultation between the German organisation for textile apparel, the Dialog Textil- Bekleidung (DTB), the International Apparel Federation (IAF) and the World Textile Information Network (WTiN) offering dedicated lecture panels. The Innovative Apparel Show, which was successfully launched at Techtextil and Texprocess 2015, becomes even more of an international event in 2017 with universities and colleges of fashion and design from Germany (Hochschule Trier), France (ESMOD, Paris), Italy (Accademia Italiana, Florenz) and Portugal (ESAD, Matosinhos). The young designers will be showing designs relating to the key areas of ‘Textile Effects’, ‘Creative Engineering’ and ‘Smart Fashion’. Their fashion pieces will be staged professionally in a fashion show in the Foyer of Halls 5.1/6.1. Visitors can vote for their choice for the Public’s Award.
Textile processing technologies for space travel
New locations for exhibitors of CAD/CAM and CMT Apart from this change, the layout of the halls remains the same as usual. Visitors will again find the new IT solutions for the apparel industry in the IT@Texprocess area in Hall 4.0. Exhibitors will be presenting Product Lifecycle Management Systems (PLM), Cloud applications and 3D CAD systems, which make it possible to create made-to-measure clothes in real time and without the need for trial fittings. Trade visitors will also find the ‘Design’ area in Hall 4.0. In Halls 5.0 and 5.1, exhibitors will present machines and accessories for sewing, seaming and joining. Hall 6.0 will showcase embroidery techniques, finishing and textile logistics. Texprocess will again be taking place in parallel to Techtextil, leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens (also from 9 to 12 May 2017). Some 1,477 international exhibitors are due to attend what is set to be the largest Techtextil that has been held to date.
